Juniors Track & Field

Our junior members carry on the club tradition of competing in Track & Field competitions. Here are the age-group club records last updated in December 2016.

We provide them with opportunity to represent Harriers and compete in a range of competitive local, regional and national events including both team competitions and individual championships. There are locally-hosted track meetings through the summer and that we encourage our young athletes to take part in the West Yorkshire Athletics League and the York Summer League

As an affiliated club, we compete in the UK Youth Development League (YDL) athletics league promoted by England Athletics. The athletes enjoy mixing with and competing at different track venues against athletes from across the North of England. The format comprises a full day of athletics events for different age groups with two boys and two girls per team per age group event. Further details are available on the YDL Athletics website.

Teams will be chosen through the season by the club coaches and team managers Mark Bryant and David Harris.

We also enjoy competing in the North-East YDL League that is arranged to support local clubs in the north-east region. This provides good opportunity to allow more children to participate and experience the fun of team competitions.

Jayne Sorrell and Christian Dickson are managing the NEYDL team this season and will send more information about these events in the near future.

Senior Track Team Northern League Division 4 North east This year we have dropped the Hawks team and have entered a Senior team into Division 4 of the Northern Athletics track and field league. There are 4 matches and all U17/20 are eligible to run in this meeting. We will be running a combined team with the Senior Harriers and the standard is not too high in this division. This is a new venture for the club in anticipation of our track being ready next year!!
